Which is why it’s worthwhile visiting the section of our site which gives you local information – which plants are available; when it’s best to plant, prune and feed them; tips and so on. It’s all here to help you enjoy them more.

Jury Magnolias

Magnolia FELIX: One of the most stunning magnolias ever seen. Huge in size, almost the size of an adult head. Not as quick to bloom as Black Tulip, but worth the wait when it does flower

Jury Magnolias

Years of breeding before the first selections are made. This is truly a love of labour and can take up to 20 years.

  • Avoid heavy water-logged soils or cultivate and add organic matter to improve drainage, yet still retain good water holding capacity.
  • Avoid cultivating too close to the trunk of Magnolias as this will damage the fleshy surface roots.
  • Mulch to protect roots from extremes of cold and heat.

COLORFLASH: BREAKTHROUGH IN FOLIAGE Washington Gardener magazine’s January/February issue profiled Color Flash Lime and Color Flash as top picks for 2006. Under the heading, “Breakthrough in Foliage” the magazine ran pictures of both varieties and gave a full description of the newest variety including key features such as “lime green foliage edged in darker green, which literally lights up the landscape,” and “pleasing inflorescences of small blush-pink flowers.”
